Happy Labor Day

[voicesandthoughts]

You are lovable.

I live in my boxes and always have

between 2 and 20, moving constantly

and saving every little memory

every movie ticket or phone number note

every A+ essay and hard earned stamp of approval

folded papers that read : I used to be someone

someone that belonged somewhere

someone that was as great as her plans

someone with potential

I. used. to. be. someone.

but whoever that was collects dust

and I watch as time passes me by

in my fragile cardboard walls

I don't know what I'm supposed to be now

probably because my character was always supposed to die

she imagined these years but it's not something she dared to write

and quite frankly I don't know how to write shit

I always felt I had to be perfect or nothing

I was supposed to be perfect, and then nothing

and neither is an option anymore

trying to figure out and sit out what unhealed part of me was triggered this morning to turn me into a miserable child

well well well if it isn’t august slipping away

I have a ring on my hand at the same time as Taylor Swift, that's crazy

you must romanticize life by cataloging the moments that are ordinary but also subtly beautiful + sweet

"When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."

whoever said that was right

when fascism came to America it came on its knees

promising the turn the dumpster full of 4th of July fireworks into a real great show

to chase away the circling crows it brought before

it came crawling in bloody sunday shoes

preached every move as prophecy, every desirable moment god's will

and so they stayed deaf to hymns growing more and more out of tune (it was that easy)

until no one really knew what god they serve

and it didn't matter, as long as their circle is preserved

it is not their death demanded, not yet

not their blood staining the stars and stripes

so they sing, these parodies of justice and love

living some twisted paradise

while we continue to read history pages in the news

and try not to make it the weather

inevitable and ordinary, thoughts to be drowned in a coffee cup

because I still have to clock in, fold my laundry, change diapers, buy groceries, and find time to be happy

and the man in my drive thru echos "we're the greatest country in the world"

somewhere, here and many places, they are counting the wounded and lifeless faces

It's our fault.

I want to say no, America is doubled over in pain

the black ring of unconsciousness

the chain we voted for, tightens every day

America as you really define it is dying

This is something else, but nothing new

But I smile, I'll be right back with your coffee

critique ?

I think something reads very odd

but more importantly get yourself caught up on the BS in the country and in DC rn if you're not already

sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and put "text your friend whom you love and genuinely want to talk to" on your to-do list because otherwise it is not getting done

I Am Sober (a cool app btw if you ignore the community section for the most part)

it's been two years,

one month, and almost 24 days

since you pushed me into the passenger seat

since I pushed it down until the bleeding hurt

six long years deserted, vows forgotten

I craved it, the caving into defeat

and those cravings still ride shotgun

they are still reaching for the wheel

still tell me my bed is made back there

that it doesn't matter how long ago the wounds faded or how long I've healed

violence will always be in the air I breathe

It will always be something I need

but I will make it to seven this time, maybe more

god I hope it's more

I'm tired of winning battles, I want to win the war

Shoutout to Superman (2025) for making it incredibly fucking clear that Superman is for good people. He’s hope. He’s love. He’s supportive. He’s an immigrant. He supports Palestine. He loves animals. He protects children.

The movie is a light. If you’ve been feeling really depressed about the world lately I’d highly suggest watching Superman.

"No one cares about how long your run was"

"No one cares if you baked something"

Wrong bitch - I'm locked in. Post the little map thingy from the app, I won't even know what it means and I'll like it. Post your first upside down cake or homemade pizza crust attempt, I'm in there and I'm smashing the like button.

being held by your lover does what 10 therapy sessions can do
